Default Man shoots wife while installing satellite TV system

I was expecting the reason to be, she was trying to tell him how to
install it. Here is the real reason, and it is just as bad.

Man shoots wife while installing satellite TV system

Posted: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 10:18 a.m.

SEDALIA, MO. (AP) -- Officials are trying to decide whether to file
charges against a Missouri man who fatally shot his wife while trying
to install a satellite TV system in their home.

Thirty-four-year-old Patsy Long of Deep Water was pronounced dead
Saturday evening after being shot in the chest with a .22-caliber
handgun. Her husband, Ronald Long, fired the shot from the inside of
their home after several unsuccessful efforts to punch a hole through
the exterior wall using other means.

Henry County Sheriff's Deputies say the woman was hit by the second of
two shots fired by her husband.

Investigators say a person involved in such a case normally would be
charged with manslaughter, but that was up to the prosecutor.
